baby oscars

DO you guys think 3-4 1.5 inch oscars could live in a 10 gallon for 1-2 weeks max? cuz the lfs just got some nice oscars in but I dont got my big tank up yet

If they are that small you will probably be fine. They are not going to grow that much in 2 weeks. Just keep the water clean and move them as quickly as possible. What size tank or tanks will they be going too?

Personally, i'd do it in a 150.
You "should" use a 200 though..

around my crummy little town it costs 840 for a 220 galloon is that fair?

$799 for a new 210 in Wash. There might be someone selling one here?

 

[liberator177]

I cant afford 800 bucks right now but I will in about 10 months, the 55 gallon im buying is only 75 bucks with tank stand lights pump and heater

Good price!
what i do is keep my eye on craigslist, the local and online classifieds, ebay, etc. when looking for larger tanks, hope that helps.
